Bai Yi, as Mo Fan’s ghost servant, knew very well just how powerful Mo Fan truly was. He could even deduce a great deal of information from the subtle clues he glimpsed on Mo Fan.
So as a friend, he did not want Niu Xiaosheng to become enemies with Mo Fan.
However, after hearing that Mo Fan was sufficiently powerful, Niu Xiaosheng’s battle intent only surged. He became greatly interested in Mo Fan.
“You did not come to Black Wind Mountain this time just to catch up with us siblings, right?”
Bai Yi looked at Niu Xiaosheng. The latter immediately nodded and said, “Correct. I came here on my father king’s orders to investigate certain matters.”
At this point, Niu Xiaosheng paused briefly before continuing, “Of course, investigating the cause of that ancestor’s death is one of the tasks. But now it seems I already have the answer in my heart.”
“In that case, come with us to see the great king!”
Upon hearing this, Bai Yi immediately understood. Together with Hei Yi, he led Niu Xiaosheng down below.
Seeing the siblings return, Mo Fan nodded at them before turning his gaze to Niu Xiaosheng.
“Come Treasure Demon King, this time I have something I wish to consult you about. I hope you can answer truthfully!”
Niu Xiaosheng spoke first, his eyes fixed intently on Mo Fan.
“What you want to ask about is nothing more than the matter of heavenly merit descending, correct? Did this king guess wrong?” Mo Fan smiled.
“Heavenly merit descending?”
Niu Xiaosheng sucked in a sharp breath!
The information Giant Spirit Mountain had received was only that unusual heavenly phenomena had appeared above Black Wind Mountain. That was precisely why they had sent that ancestor to investigate. In the end, the ancestor disappeared without a trace, and later they discovered that his life tablet had shattered.
This matter had caused a huge uproar in Giant Spirit Mountain.
To avoid escalating the situation, the Giant Spirit Sacred King sent an even stronger demon ancestor to investigate. But that one had barely entered the Fengming Mountain demon domain before being intercepted and attacked by Zhan Ao.
After a fierce battle, the demon ancestor ultimately retreated.
Later, for some unknown reason, the Giant Spirit Sacred King directly suppressed the matter. Only now had he sent Niu Xiaosheng to investigate the reason behind it.
So from beginning to end, Niu Xiaosheng had never heard anything about heavenly merit descending.
“What exactly did you do that was so extraordinary that you could trigger the laws of heaven to bestow merit?”
After his shock, Niu Xiaosheng looked at Mo Fan with even greater heat in his gaze.
“Do you think this king would tell you so easily?”
Mo Fan was actually amused by the fellow’s words. Then his expression turned serious as he snorted coldly, “Half a year ago, your Giant Spirit Mountain sent an ancestral realm great demon to threaten this king and even attempted to destroy my entire Black Wind Mountain. So this king killed him!
For nearly half a year afterwards, not only did your Giant Spirit Mountain fail to give this king any explanation, but now you come to probe for information from this king?
Should I say you people are too bold?
Or that your Giant Spirit Mountain never took this king seriously from the start?
Or perhaps in the eyes of you, the holy son, this king is simply not worth mentioning at all?”
As his words fell, Mo Fan’s body erupted with the powerful aura unique to the peak of king realm!
“Uh…”
Seeing Mo Fan become angry, Niu Xiaosheng immediately felt awkward.
At that moment, ripples appeared in the void beside Niu Xiaosheng. The Niu Mo Demon Ancestor, who had been watching from the sidelines, instantly teleported over.
“Kid, no one has ever dared to threaten the holy son of my Giant Spirit Mountain!”
The Niu Mo Demon Ancestor spoke calmly. His gaze was indifferent as he looked at Mo Fan. Ancestral realm aura surged forth, vast pressure pouring out like rivers and pressing down on Mo Fan like a massive mountain!
“What a coincidence!”
“No one has ever dared to threaten this king either!”
Mo Fan snorted coldly. He took a step forward. His aura grew even stronger as he directly resisted the ancestral realm pressure. His body made cracking sounds, yet he did not lower his head even a fraction.
At the same time, a mass of ghost mist surged out from behind Mo Fan and blocked in front of the Niu Mo Demon Ancestor, also releasing terrifying ancestral realm pressure.
Bai Li Qing’er said nothing. With a smile on her face, she looked at the Niu Mo Demon Ancestor and completely blocked all the ancestral realm pressure he emitted.
“Ancestral realm ghost cultivator. It seems the rumours were true. You, a mere little demon king, really obtained the inheritance of the White Tiger Sacred King. Even this ghost-controlling method was passed on to you!”
The Niu Mo Demon Ancestor’s expression grew solemn. Then he sneered coldly, “But one ghost ancestor cannot stop this ancestor!”
“Big dumb ox, feel free to try!”
Bai Li Qing’er snorted coldly. As a fellow ancestral realm expert, she was actually being looked down upon by this ox demon?
The Niu Mo Demon Ancestor narrowed his eyes slightly. Just as he was about to speak, Niu Xiaosheng beside him interrupted, “Niu Mo old ancestor, did I not tell you all not to follow?”
“Are my words as the holy son no longer valid now?”
“Do not forget, this operation is led by this holy son!”
Niu Xiaosheng’s low voice rang out. Immediately, the Niu Mo Demon Ancestor’s expression turned unpleasant, but he said nothing more. After a moment of silence, he actually stepped back.
Seeing this, Bai Li Qing’er sneered coldly and also returned behind Mo Fan.
“Come Treasure Demon King, my apologies. Indeed, Niu was a bit too agitated earlier, so I lost my manners.”
Only now did Niu Xiaosheng smile apologetically at Mo Fan. Then he continued, “But in the face of heavenly merit descending, I fear anyone would lose composure.”
“What exactly do you want to say?”
Mo Fan furrowed his brows slightly as he looked at the fellow.
“I cannot intervene in matters concerning my father king. But before this, I had always been in secluded cultivation, so the previous incident truly had little to do with me.
But this time I came on orders. If I cannot get the answers I seek, I am afraid I will face my father king’s punishment. So I hope Brother Come Treasure will not disappoint me.”
Niu Xiaosheng gave a wry smile. His tone was quite sincere, causing Mo Fan’s brows to furrow even deeper.
If the other party had been more aggressive, Mo Fan would have found it easier to handle. Worst case, he could just fight and detain all these fellows here!
But this fellow clearly had the status of holy son, yet he insisted on taking the soft approach. This left Mo Fan somewhat speechless.
He could not possibly kill someone just because they talked too much, right?
Right now, he was promoting demon race reform. He wanted to use a new order to overturn the old chaotic rules of the demon race. So first of all, he could not act without following rules.
In other words, everything had to be reasoned out.
Only when reason failed would fists take over to reason!
After a moment of silence, Mo Fan finally spoke in a deep voice, “What does any of what you said have to do with this king?”
“Uh… naturally not much. But not everything is beyond negotiation, right?”
Niu Xiaosheng winked at Mo Fan. Then his eyes turned as he spoke, “How about this? You and I fight once. Whoever wins can demand one thing from the other. What do you say?”
As soon as these words came out, all the surrounding great demons watching were stunned. Then strange expressions appeared on their faces one after another.
Bai Yi sighed helplessly and shook his head.
The great demons of Black Wind Mountain all looked excited. They knew very well how powerful Mo Fan was, so they were not worried he would lose!
The great demons of Giant Spirit Mountain also wore proud expressions. In their eyes, the holy son was certain to win!
In the entire Giant Spirit Mountain demon domain, there were plenty of great demons at peak king realm. But only one could become the holy son!
The title of holy son was not just a symbol of status. It represented potential!
If the holy son’s cultivation was only at great demon general realm, then he was indisputably number one among great demon generals!
If the holy son’s cultivation was in demon king realm, then naturally he was invincible among demon kings!
This was the potential of a demon race holy son!
Even knowing that this Come Treasure Demon King was definitely not weak, they did not believe their holy son would lose.
Even that Niu Mo Demon Ancestor, upon hearing these words, did not express any objection. Clearly, he was also satisfied with this.
“You want this king to fight you, so this king must fight you?”
However, Mo Fan sneered coldly and directly rejected Niu Xiaosheng’s request on the spot. This left Niu Xiaosheng stunned in place.
This guy…
Why did he not follow the usual script?
“But if you truly want to fight this king once, it is not entirely impossible!”
Just as Niu Xiaosheng looked helpless, Mo Fan spoke again faintly, giving him hope.
“Feel free to state your conditions. As long as I can fulfil them, anything goes!”
Niu Xiaosheng immediately spoke with excitement.
“Besides the condition you just mentioned, this king wants to add one more condition. After all, you are the one who wants to fight this king.”
“Fine!”
“If you lose, you will bring all these great demons from Giant Spirit Mountain to stay in my Black Wind Mountain and participate in the construction of the Spirit Tree Garden for half a month. How about it?”
Mo Fan spoke with a smiling expression as he looked at Niu Xiaosheng.
